The Tecumseh High School girls golf team finished second on Wednesday in a Southeastern Conference quad match at Hantz Golf Club. The other teams that were also competing were Adrian, Ann Arbor Huron and Ann Arbor Skyline.

Tecumseh finished with a team total of 200. Southeastern Conference Red Division member Ann Arbor Skyline won the quad match with a score of 186. Ann Arbor Huron shot 224, while Adrian finished with a 233.

The Indians were led by medalist Carley LaPlant with her personal best of 3-over-par 39 on the front nine. She drove to the fringe on No. 9, then chipped in for an eagle.

Anneka Hart and Ashley Barth had scores of 48 and 52, respectively. Keisha Batra and Naydean Othman finished with scores of 61 and 70, respectively.

Tecumseh coach Kerry Smith commented on how her team could improve.

"Well the short game is always something we need to improve on," she said. "This is the first time that I played three of our players, which was their first time out on a course."

Leading the Maples was freshman Ashley Rincon with a score of 44. Other Adrian golfers were Zoe Hale with a 61 and Jacqueline Adams and Kourtney Hephner with 63 and 65, respectively. Rounding out the Maples' scorers was Josslyn Walsh with a 108.

"I think I played pretty decent," Rincon said. "On hole four, I almost had a hole-in-one."

When asked about how her team's scores after playing Hantz for the second time this season, Adrian coach Kaendall McVicker said: "I think they turned out really well. The girls who played on Friday were more prepared today, and they shot a lot better, so it worked out really well."
